Save Your Skin (G. Kooymans/B. Hay/R. Gerritsen/C. Zuiderwijk) 1979 No Promises… No Debts

The pity and the pleasure and the guilt and the pain
The sun and the moon and the stars and the rain, it’s all the same
Goin’ back to zero, the other side of life
With gasoline and neon lights seeping through the night on a colour-slide

Hand that’s holdin’ a gun, it’s the trigger-happy son
Another abnormality, a wolf among the sheep

It’s the good time boy, girls’ toy takin’ another chance
And there he goes, do you think he knows, on and on he goes
Do you think it shows

Hold on he’s comin’ back like a joker jumpin’ out of the deck
Hit a lotta dust, hit it hard just to prove my lord he can take a lot
Dig in now you still can, get a smokescreen and a rifle-man
Holy Christ look at the state he’s in

Save your skin, take my advice and keep the kids inside
Save your skin now you can without an alibi
Save your skin, take my advice and leave the dogs outside
‘Cause here he comes, it’s the demon man with the fire in his eyes
A fire in his eyes, checking out your lies one by one

Soul kitchen’s empty, lotta contrast with last night
There’s broken chairs and broken glasses everywhere in sight
Sunlight is blindin’ my eyes minute he walks in, how ya been

Hold on I’m comin’ back like a joker jumpin’ out of the deck
Hit a lotta dust, hit it hard just to prove my lord I can take a lot
Dig in now you still can, get a smokescreen and a rifle-man
Holy Christ look at the state I’m in

Save your skin, take my advice and keep the kids inside
Save your skin now you can without an alibi
Save your skin, take my advice and leave the dogs outside
‘Cause here he comes, it’s the demon man with the fire in his eyes
With the fire in his eyes

Save your skin…
